Baseball great Stan Musial is a different kind of lifetime ethics hero, which is one reason it is important to so honor him. Unlike everyone who has ever received that designation here, the iconic St. Louis Cardinal had no famous episode that crystallizes his character for posterity, no inspiring quotes attributed to him, nothing at all as impressive by itself as his athletic feats on the baseball field, which were among the most distinguished of any Major League baseball career.
GFBB Note: One of the best tributes I've read today. Stan Musial was my dad’s all-time favorite ballplayer and though my dad had a lot of faults, in many ways he was very much like him. At least I think he tried to be. That some of those values may have rubbed off on me? I should be so lucky.
